《I Drink》歌词

[00:00:01] I Drink - Charles Aznavour

[00:00:16] I drink to drive away all the years I have hated

[00:00:19] The ambitions frustrated that no longer survive

[00:00:23] I drink day after day to the chaos behind me

[00:00:27] As I drink to remind me that I still am alive

[00:00:30] So I give you a toast to the endless confusions

[00:00:34] To the lies and delusions that have swallowed my life

[00:00:38] Yes I give you a toast to the wine and the roses

[00:00:41] To the deadly cirrhosis that can cut like a knife

[00:00:45] I drink to catch a glimpse of the love we degraded

[00:00:49] Of a life that has faded like the vanishing moon

[00:00:53] I drink I see the dream to my waiting desire

[00:00:57] To the passionate fire that has burned out so soon

[00:01:01] I drink and I drown in a promise you made me

[00:01:05] All the times you betrayed me in your anger and spite

[00:01:08] When you took on the town when you looked for the

[00:01:12] Action

[00:01:12] When you took satisfaction like a whore in the night

[00:01:16] I drink to make believe that my life is worth living

[00:01:20] That the Gods are forgiving at the end of the day

[00:01:24] I drink because I grieve for dreams when we started

[00:01:27] For the innocent hearted who got lost on the way

[00:01:31] For the children unborn for their dead phantom faces

[00:01:35] For our sterile embraces in the tomb of your bed

[00:01:39] I drink and I mourn for the harvest that failed

[00:01:43] For the ship that has sailed for the hope that is

[00:01:46] Dead

[00:01:47] I drink to find the place where the darkness can hide

[00:01:50] Me

[00:01:51] Till the terror inside me can at last disappear

[00:01:54] I drink to my disgrace till oblivion claims me

[00:01:58] Till there's nothing that shames me till I'm blind to

[00:02:01] My fear

[00:02:02] Yes I drink till I burst till my own degradation

[00:02:06] Till the edge of damnation that is waiting below

[00:02:09] Yes I drink with a thirst that destroys and depraves

[00:02:13] Me

[00:02:13] Engulfs and enslaves me and will never let go

[00:02:18] I drink until I'm lost and the street is my hideout

[00:02:21] Where I will beat my pride out till I'm gasping for

[00:02:24] Breath

[00:02:25] I drink to count the cost of a life I despair for

[00:02:29] Until God hears my prayer for a compassionate death

[00:02:32] So I spit up my bile at the Gods who demean us

[00:02:36] At the silence between us at the love none can save

[00:02:39] For a life that is vile for a soul that is ailing

[00:02:43] For a body that's failing as it heads for the grave

[00:02:47] I drink without a care

[00:02:50] Drink because I must

[00:02:51] Drink for my despair

[00:02:53] I drink to your disgust

[00:02:55] I drink drink drink by God I drink

[00:03:01] Yes I drink
